Earth Braces for Minor Geomagnetic Storms from Solar Eruptions Are we moving towards Solar Maxima? The continuous heightened solar activity suggests likewise. This has been further …
On June 25, SpaceX achieved a successful launch of the fourth and final satellite for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) program. According to NASA’s statement, the GOES-R (Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite) constellation represents a state-of-the-art system designed to deliver continuous monitoring of weather and potentially dangerous environmental conditions across large parts of the …
Space Weather Satellite Launch: SpaceX successfully launched the fourth and final satellite for NASA’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) programme on June 25. The series of advanced satellites called GOES-R (Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite) are expected to aid with “continuous coverage of weather and hazardous environmental conditions across much of the Western Hemisphere”, NASA …
Updated Jun 4, 2024, 10:15 IST A geomagnetic storm is expected today due to a recent coronal mass ejection from the Sun, potentially causing communication disruptions and stunning auroras in higher latitudes. Space weather forecasters are predicting a potential geomagnetic storm that could impact Earth, following a recent powerful solar event on Tuesday (June 4). …
Inside the global effort to track the strongest solar storm, which triggered the most powerful auroras seen in over 500 years. The Sun has reached peak activity in its 11-year cycle as it blasts off plasma and materials towards the inner and outer solar system without a pause. Earth was in the firing line when …
In the last week of February, the Sun turned volatile and hurled out 3 dangerous X-class solar flares in the span of just 24 hours. One of these flares was the strongest one recorded since 2017 and certainly the highest in intensity in the current solar cycle 25. As we move towards the peak of …
An intense solar event occurred in the early hours of February 6, as a sunspot unleashed a powerful M4-class solar explosion, according to a report by Indiatoday.in. “This significant solar activity sent a hot plume of plasma hurtling through the sun’s atmosphere at speeds exceeding 1,440,000 kilometers per hour, culminating in the formation of a …
NEW DELHI: On Monday, a radio blackout occurred over the Pacific Ocean following a solar storm’s impact on Earth. ‘Earth.com’ reported that the blackouts were identified around 4:20 pm EST (2:50 am IST) along the western US and South American coasts, lasting only a brief period of a few seconds. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric …
On December 31, the Sun generated the strongest solar flare in 7 years and it was captured by the NASA Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO). It originated from the same sunspot that hurled out another X2.8 solar flare on December 14. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), this X-class solar flare also sparked …
Home Photos Massive hole opens on the Sun, hurls solar winds towards Earth, says NASA; Solar storm may strike soon A gigantic hole has ripped open on the surface of the Sun. The solar winds expelled from the hole can reach the Earth in three days, revealed NASA. It is likely to result in …
